Upon Crimson Wings (ask before joining)

The storm was coming fast, faster than she had judge.  A young lady (about 18) dressed in jeans and tank-top with a black hiking boots could be seen running through the trees and bushes.  She hazel (green-brown) could be seen searching the sky keeping track of the storm that was racing toward her home.  She saw the first clash of lighting over near Dragon's Rock.  She counted the second one.  The storm was moving so fast!  She didn't slow down until she reached her door.  Right before she could even knock the door open to show her uncle staring at her. "There are you... Cammi... I told you to stay clean today!  Dang it girl! Couldn't you stay out of the woods for one day?"  And before he could say another word the bottom burst.  Cammi shiver feeling the ice could water falling down her back. "Sorry, I told Mister Lee I would help him in the garden."  She replied.  Her uncle growled and shook his head. "You know the college administrator was coming today!  And now you look awful... hurry, go clean up.  We still have another hour before they get here!"  He growled shoving her inside.  She rolled her eyes as she rush to her room.  She threw off her shoes toward a corner. "Who said I want to go to college?  Who said I want to be a doctor?"  She asked, "I wouldn't mind going into the military like dad!"  She whispered, but any time she brought up that topic her uncle got very upset with her.  After 10 years, it still stings them both at mentioning the military- mainly because her father died in service.  She still sleep in his jacket.  She close her eyes as she leans against the sink. "I miss you did- I know you made me promise, but I wish I could protect those I love!"  She whispered to her father where ever he was.  She heard another clash and then a flash.  She looked out her windows.  This storm was normal for this area- don't get her wrong.  They have tons of storms, but this one seem so different.  The sky was beautiful then suddenly like someone flipped a switch and everything went horribly wrong! She scrubbed up.  She didn't know her life was going to change like it will be or that her family had a big secret that spread back millions of years.  She pulled her brown hair back into a braid. She switched out her jeans for a pair of casual pants and her shirt for a dress shirt.  She head out to play the role of a model student (she got the grades for it).  

At Dragon Rock, the hills seem to be alive as if waking up something for a deep slumber.  Something that has not seen the light of days for at least 1000 years.  The last time it opened it's eyes, man was fighting one another for lands and everybody had to use candles for light.  Now with technology, things still seem to have stayed the same.  Yet- what none knows that things that were only thought of myth and legends were waking to strike down mankind and reclaim the world as it once was! 

[Night]

The ground was shaking lightly and it could be felt all the way near the house which was a good three hour trip by car. The lightning was starting to rain down much more than was usual and it was starting to focus and hit all around Dragons rock. It was getting insain and then as if the heavens themselves thought it time to release something into the world a giant bolt of lighting or perhaps a convergence of many lightning bolts struck all at once and hit Dragons rock and the sheer force caused there to be an explosion and dark smoke filled the sky lit only by the fires that came from the impact. The trees around dragons rock were set ablaze and the rock had collapsed into what looked to be a great hole. The rocks slowly fell deep down into the hole and into darkness and then all at once there was a loud earth shaking roar and after it died down the lighting became much less and the wind stopped allowing the rain to fall like a thick blanket over the area. Something had been stirred and it was something the world had long forgotten existed...something that was only in books and myth..

Deep inside the hole, within the lair of the beast something moved and there was nothing but rock and shadow all around and then lightly a voice called out "The time to awaken..has come..."

Cammi looked to her uncle as she felt the ground shake. That was odd... the last time the ground shook she was a little thing and it was from volcano erupted, but that thing has been dead for years. She looked to the college administrator and her uncle and neither one seem to be affected by it. She smiled as she tried to stay engaged, but her mind was listing everything it could have been. Hours seem to past and finally she was free. She told her uncle that she was going to study and head to her room. She locked the door as she switched into her jeans again with a baggy shirt. She slip on her hiking boots and headed out the window to go explored. She head toward Dragon's Rock. She didn't know why but she had a feeling it would be close to the mountain range that the quake came from. She didn't have long before her uncle would be back. She hope all was well. She was excited and scared about exploring, mostly excited.

She looked around and nothing seemed off. The animals seem to be good, nothing odd with them. She keeps looking around. Nothing. She smiled a little seeing familiar animals. She headed further into the woods. She did noticed a few disturbance from rocks falling. She looked around and noticed a path she never saw before. "hmmm..." She looked back and realize she been gone way too long and turned back to go home before she gets caught. She climbed back in before her uncle knocked. "Sorry... habit!" She called out as she open the door. He brought her some food. She took it to her desk before she looked at the window. Tomorrow she will explore that path. 

[Night]

She was close. He could feel it and even though his mind was awake he could not completely awaken, not without the presence of the dragon rider. It was as though he were still asleep but in a light sleep where he could hear the outside world and things around him but couldn't yet move his body. It was an odd sensation to say the least. Most likely he had been sleeping to long and as the term went he "didn't want to get out of bed" There was a growl that came from the hole at the peak of dragons rock and some of the animals scattered and moved away from the rock while some more docile creatures were drawn to it as how some animals can coexist with others, some of these animals felt the coming of a very old creature and were almost welcoming it.
